dc.description | This Primer aims to present a simple overview of good organization, management and governance practices for organizations that fulfil at least in part a public good role, and practical applications for providers of RECP services in different regions. The experiences of selected NCPCs that are believed to provide useful insights are featured as examples in the Primer, while in addition complementary full Case Studies of the NCPCs in China, Guatemala, Slovakia, South Africa, Tanzania and Viet Nam are available (www.unido.org/cp). The suggestions that are proposed in this Primer and illustrated through various examples and Case Studies should help the NCPCs in graduating from a project management unit into a nationally-owned provider of services for private and public good. NCPCs will thus be able to improve their management and the effective engagement of stakeholders (government and private sector), which in turn are building blocks for the continuation and impact of the NCPC in the future.
The overall goal of this Primer is to provide practical guidance to improve the organization, management and governance of the Centres to foster national ownership and ultimately their institutional or organizational stability and sustainability. | en_US |
